Sporting jokey English accents and supported by several prominent British actors (Charles Dance, Damian Lewis, Toby Jones), James Franco plays a heroic medieval prince and Danny McBride his jealous slob of a younger brother. The two are dispatched on a quest to save a damsel in distress. The aim presumably is a sophisticated comic sword-and-sorcery fairytale along the lines of The Princess Bride or The Court Jester. But it's more penis-in-codpiece than tongue-in-cheek. The writers (who include the film's co-producer McBride) believe adult wit resides in saying "fuck", "motherfucker" or "cocksucker" in every other sentence, and think they've enriched the language by their coinage of "fuckening" to describe a wizard's sexual rite.
